Red Dead Redemption 2is home to some incredibly well-written and memorable characters. The Van der Linde gang is populated with a large variety of members for players to interact with inRed Dead Redemption 2. Now, one player has dressed Arthur Morgan up as one of the most beloved members of the Van der Linde gang, and the results are startlingly accurate.
While playable characters like Arthur Morgan andJohn Marstonhave made a strong, emotional impact on a number of players, the newly introduced gang members featured inRed Dead Redemption 2. One of which being Hosea Matthews, one of the earliest members of the Van der Linde gang with a deep connection to Arthur Morgan and Dutch Van der Linde. However, something that a few players may not know is that Arthur can actually be dressed up like Hosea.

AReddituser by the name of HighGround16 tracked down articles of clothing in-game that most closely resemble Hosea’s main look in the game. While the colors might not be exactly to specifications, the resemblance is quite stunning. Arthur’s wearing the same type of hat as Hosea, the jacket is the same, Arthur even has the same color of neckerchief as Hosea.
In a sort of meta-narrative way, it’s nice to see Arthur dress as Hosea. As evidenced throughout the majority ofRed Dead Redemption 2’snarrative, it’s clear that Hosea strongly influencedArthur Morgan’s upbringing while he was a child, serving as a surrogate father figure, along with Dutch. Thus, it might make sense for Arthur to dress after a man who made such a strong impact on him.
In fact, there are some in the gaming community that thinkHosea would make a good protagonist forRed Dead Redemption 3. Such a move would would make sense, given thatRed Dead Redemption 2actually served as a prequel surrounding the events of John Marston before the events of the originalRed Dead Redemption. The thirdRed Dead Redemptioninstallment could follow a similar narrative model where the player plays as a young Hosea during the early days of the Wild West, seeing the Van Der Linde gang at its peak.
Although, a thirdRed Dead Redemptioninstallment seems unlikely to release anytime soon. Considering that it took eight years for a second installment ofRed Dead Redemptionto release and given that much of Rockstar Games' focus is now being placed onRed Dead Online, the gaming community likely won’t see another sequel toRed Dead Redemptionfor quite some time.
Red Dead Redemption 2is available now on PC, PS4, Stadia, and Xbox One.
